Amador County – An elderly woman was injured after a car struck the KFC Restaurant in Jackson Wednesday afternoon at approximately 2:45pm. According to Jackson Police Chief Scott Morrison, a woman driving a red Hyundai Elantra mistook her gas pedal for her brake and bolted over the curb and into the wall by the restaurant’s front doorway. The impact severely damaged the support beam and knocked a pinball style machine into a bench where 92-year-old Catherine Campau of Wilseyville was eating along with her husband. Fire Chief Mark Morton and Morrison were the first to arrive on scene. Campau complained of head trauma and Morton advised her to “go see a doctor.” After paramedics arrived on scene, Campau reluctantly chose to go to the hospital via ambulance. At the time of this report there is no word of her condition. The driver of the Elantra told TSPN she was surprised the impact had not caused her vehicle more damage. After assessing the damage to the restaurant, one fire official advised the manager on duty “not to take anymore customers” due to the structural damage. The manager said she would have to clear that with her superior. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
